The only suggestion I can think of is that the full stop at the end of that sentence is not part of the code. Make sure you only include the letters and numbers in the box, and use the exact email address that you registered with.

man i am such a dipstick i was using the rasberry pi id number as the activation code when i loked at the buy it now email i so the code and one pi now payed for and waiting on dilivery weeeeeeeeeeeeee

Registered on 01/03/12May 28th time to orderEmail today saying it shipped today (27th June)Shipment delivered 28th June in ITALY

Order number 456xx

You're lucky !!!!!

I have no news about my order and my order number is 41947 what a surprise to see that the orders are not sent ordered by number

I too am surprised that the Raspberrys are not distributed by order number. I placed my order on April 3, 2012 (No. 022947) and, until now, I heard nothing or received anything.And still I like to have this Raspberry Pi. So if anyone of you read it from Element14.com, I'm still intrested!Tomorrow is really the end of June!

Thanks James

Absolutely nothing so far.

How can it be that amberleaf123 registered interest on 31/05 and could order already 2 days later? paulkerton (and me) have registered interest on 23/04 and we both got no "time to order" e-mail until now.

Seems that the first come first serve basis is not working.

Just had Confirmation e-mail.....despatched:D....first come first serve? not in this case my Friend:D

I entered what I thought was an order (provided credit card number, all emails say "Order Confirmation", "Order Acknowledgement", etc.) on March 25. Order number is 313xxx (yes, 6 digits, unlike the 5 digit numbers people seem to be slinging around here.)

Got another email on May 2 saying that "your Raspberry Pi will be delivered in an upcoming shipment beginning the week of June 29th". Again -- not anything about invitations. This all seems pretty clearly like an order.

Checked order status earlier this week and saw "Back Order" and "Ship Date 28 June 2012". I check again today, and I see "Back Order" and "Ship Date 12 July 2012".

Obviously, I'm going about this the wrong way -- I should be demanding that my order NOT ship, and it'll then magically have gone out the door weeks ago, and have arrived in my hands already. <grin>

Seriously, though, what gives? What dates can I actually put some faith in?

-The "Back-Order" mean that your pi is caught up in the back log.....so they will be sorting that out before the other shipments but like in my case maybe they could send you it faster than the people who ordered before me, im not sure how it works but i guess i was one of the lucky ones......im not sure on the dates but try to stick to the table mike put up on deliverys....by the way your order email etc sounded like what happened to me so good luck in getting it early:D

My order number is 36390. By this topic I know that it had to be send in June 24th. Why I didn't received any contact from RS Components about my board?

Kind Regards,Felipe

In my opinion RS Components are abit on the poor side to giving out details/delivery dates......my order number was 710xx,i didnt hear nothing from them after sending them numerous e-mails but on the bright side im getting my pi before people who ordered them...i guess its just pot luck!

Same problem as dasimpson. First time I tried to buy the Pi, I encountered a "barclays integration error???", just when I wrote my credit card numbers.And when I tried to reconnect, I got "The code you have entered is invalid. If you have experienced issues whilst placing your order please try again after 1 hour."Even after two hours. Any idea?

hi, The same happened to me....i dont know my RS Components username anymore, but quite afew people have had this problem and they said just wait and it will come without an email because you cant log in because you have forgotten your user lol, dont be afraid because lots of people are in the same boat as you,including myself.....mine came much erlier than expected, do the following:look at the delivery dates.....try and work out when you where invited to order....and the time they gave you on the confirmation email (e.g 9 weeks or what ever) then after that if it does not come by then contact RS Components on the number given for "General Enquiries"=08457 201201.(UK land line-charged at normal network rate for UK callers. remember prices will vary due to you being in the US.Hope this helped. Thanks James

My order number is 12.700 (17th of May). Still waiting for notice of delivery. Please advise?And for those who still waiting... Good luck.

I must agree with the comments.. Raspberry Pi rocks but the information about delivery is incomplete and very poor. If the assigned routed to gather info is sending eMails to raspberrypi@rswww.com with in the subject: Mike@RS, you would get a (non-automated) response. But still no answer

Get onto Mike a.s.a.p, The last thing you want is to be at the other end of the que......

I only read promises in my email by RS.If they do not ship my Raspberry today as this is the last date they promised to ship it, I will open a dispute on paypal and get my money back.I am really fed up with them.They act completely unprofessionally.Farnell charged me the day they shipped my raspberry and they actually shipped it !RS charged me 21st of May and they shipped nothing yet.

Order 215xxgot this reply last friday from Mike@RSWe’re resending your order to you, which will be sent next Tuesday. Please accept our apologies for this delay, which was due to a data failure between systems.

How you contact with RS employees? I twice write an e-mail and there is no answers. I open a PayPal dispute 2 weeks ago and there is no answer too. I try to write about my problem in this topic, and there is no answer from RS employees again:(
